Vitreous Occlusion of Ahmed Glaucoma Tube in a Patient with Aphakic Glaucoma - A Case Report

This report presents an infrequent but well‑recognised case of delayed Ahmed glaucoma valve tube obstruction caused by a vitreous plug in the anterior chamber of a 51-year Pakistani male with aphakic secondary open‑angle glaucoma. The obstruction was successfully managed through an anterior vitrectomy and manual removal of the incarcerated vitreous plug via a pars-plana approach. This case highlights the importance of early recognition and appropriate intervention for vitreous-related Ahmed Glaucoma valve obstructions to ensure optimal intraocular pressure control in patients with aphakic glaucoma. This case contributes to the understanding of the complexities of managing Ahmed Glaucoma valve complications in aphakic patients, emphasising the need for tailored surgical interventions to prevent recurrent obstruction.
